Surfactant and patent ductus arteriosus [PDF]

open access: possibleThe Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2010
To investigate the relationship between surfactant replacement therapy and the development of a haemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus.All premature infants at 28-32 wk gestation with a clinical diagnosis of respiratory distress syndrome were retrospectively reviewed and subdivided into two groups; intubated, mechanically ventilated and ...

Aneurysm of a Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2011
A 35-year-old male diagnosed with a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) 15 years prior to admission presented with shortness of breath, hoarseness, hemoptysis, and chest pain. A chest X-ray revealed a large mass in the left superior mediastinum (Fig. 1). A computed tomographic (CT) angiogram revealed a PDA aneurysm measuring 8.8 × 9.3 cm communicating with

The physiopathology of the patent ductus arteriosus

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2009
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) remains a frequent problem for the very low birth weight infants. Many questions about the role of PDA, the best method of diagnosing it and the appropriate timing of treatment have been, at time, not completely answered.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Cardiology Clinics, 2013
Patent ductus arteriosus in adults is usually an isolated lesion with a small to moderate degree of shunt, as a larger shunt becomes symptomatic earlier in childhood. The classic murmur of patent ductus arteriosus may be the first clue to its presence, or it may be detected accidently by transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography, or magnetic ...

The incidence of PDA is inversely related to gestational age in premature infants. Clinical presentation of PDA in premature infants is different than in older children. They present with increased work of breathing or an increasing need for mechanical ventilatory support.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1984
THE PROFESSIONAL SETTING August 1938! Few physicians of today can be fully aware of the forces at play on a surgeon contemplating a new procedure in that year. Even those of us still alive who were active then find it difficult to recreate the setting. I will try to recall some conditions and events.

Persistent Patent Ductus Arteriosus

International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, 1991
Two observations about the ductus arteriosus are established: most normally developed infants will have a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) at the time of delivery, and most fullterm infants will have anatomic obliteration of the ductus lumen by 3–6 months of age.
